The programs and services developed by Kids in Crisis include two emergency shelters, each staffed
round-the-clock with professional counselors, a complete on-site medical clinic, a 24-hour Helpline and
Outreach counseling and many community- and school-based programs.
We rely on private funding to ensure children receive the high quality care they need and deserve. More than
84 cents of every dollar raised by Kids in Crisis goes directly to the programs and services for the children.
